Just checking.

You prefer " May'nt I got to the toilet quickly?"

I guess that the assumption that RC hasn't voted UKIP, BF or NF is not unreasonable.

He could be a born again leftie.

So here is a fun fact.
I've never had the MP I voted for. Tory where I grew up, Tory where I went to uni, wasn't eligible to vote for 7 years, Tory again, SNP, SNP.
And the local MP here is a Tory who hasn't polled less than 50% in the last 4 elections. Nearly 60% last time around.

Anyway, I have found a key strategy to foster economic growth. Just create an endless stream of garden centres. I took my mom to one today, it was full of pensioners happily paying £4.50 for a crap cappuccino and £40 for hanging baskets. A veritable goldmine.
Think of all those boomers spending some of those massive piles of cash they are all sitting on, which would keep Rick happy 😉

Nah, you just need to duplicate Tavistock around the UK.

So who will you vote for on 4th July?

I don't know, some of his views / opinions are well to the far right, though others are 'progressive'.

Haven’t decided yet. Not that it matters; according to the MRP poll, my local labour MP has 99.4% chance of winning.

Looks like some good ole tactical voting would be a good idea to make sure they #gtto in nearby constituencies.

The apostrophe is in the wrong place, RC.

The "supermajority" "labour dictatorship" stuff is such a load of bollocks. If only they'd have backed the AV referendum.

Everything Jenrick ever says is bollocks. He's just repeating the scary words they think are going to scare voters.
"with a majority so large they can change the country for a generation". A majority of 'just' 80 was more than enough for that. They can FRO.

can confirm as a chronic TikTok user, my highly engineered algorithm suddenly sent me a load of reform stuff.

Never mind. Never had central Cambridge down as a rock solid Labour area, seems too nice a place for that. Maybe it's all the leftie academics who are registered to vote?

You mean that generally more educated people tend not to vote for Tories?

No, but a specific subset does seem to be quite lefty. Those academics do seem to live in a little bubble which is insulated from the real world, so could be a reason.

Didn't it used to be the other way around? i.e. Labour support being more for the naive?
Suggests to me the Tories have abandoned the sensible middle ground for fantasies that can be debunked by moderately intelligent people in moments.

See graphic above for tendency for the less well-educated to vote Tory, at least in 2019. Rather amusingly, exactly twice as likely compared with the well-educated.

If one assumes that a central part of education is the development of the ability to collate and assess information from multiple sources, this should be no surprise.
